Rev. SAMUEL KIRL1N arrived in Lin
coin County, Ark, some two months
ago, claiming to be minister of the
United Presbyterian Church from Pitts
burgh, Pa. and in good standing in
that city. He was an eloquent speaker
and his meetings, held at various
points, were largely attended, many
persons protesting religion. He gained
the confidence of the farmers by joining
the Wheelers, a farmers organization,
and succeeded in being elected pur-
chasing agent. One thousand dollars
was turned over TO him with which to
buy supplies, and just before Christmas
he started for Pine Bluff to purchase
the desired supplies, since which time
he he has not been heard from. The
Whcelers feel that there can be no
doubt but that the reverend gentleman
has absconded with their money.

pushed westward almost three hundred
miles in the last three years, according
to Frank Wilkeson of the New York
Sun, and this is due entirely to climatic
changes. These changes he considers
due to the extensive irrigation along
the eastern base of the Rocky
mountains, the wind, according to his
theory, taking up moisture from the
immense irrigating bitches and dis
tributing it where before it had been
unknown.

THE GROW ENTENTE.

General Armstrong Lays the Responsible
ty ofthe Present Troubles Largely on the
Shoulders of Sitting BuH-Preeautionary
Measures Suggested.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 1S.-General f. G.
Arms trong, Indian inspector, who has
been located on the Crow reservation since
the trouble began which eliminated in the
death of Sword-Bearer, arrived in st. Paul
yesterday. General Armstrong gave a
detailed account of the causes that led to
the recent disturbances on the Grow
reservation, which, he said, have been
brewing for the past two years. The
most Of the mischief was done last spring,
when Sitting Bull, with a party of
Sioux warriors numbering about one hun
dred, came to the Crow reservation and
pitched his camp within almost a stones
throw of the Custer monument and began
to harrangue the Crows. He made a
strong impression on the young men of
the latter tribe, especially when he began
to recount his exploits in his contests
with the whites. Another weak point
that he played upon with great stress was
the fact that the Crows did not receive the
Same consideration at the hands of the
Government that his warriors did. After
the fight in which Sword Bearer was
killed and other recalcitrants captured,
Grey Eagle, one Of the leading men of the
Crow tribe, said that Crazy Head and
Deaf Bull should be made an example of,
for as long as they were in the tribe there
would be trouble, and subsequent investi.
cation proved this to be true. Conse-
quently, in his report to the
Secretary of the Interior, Gen.
General Armstrong has recommend
ed that Crazy Head and Deaf Bull
be sent to some safe place, probably Fort
Pickens, Fla, where Geronimo is at pres
ent, or be separated and sent to different
places. At any rate, they should be taken
out Of the company of the young braves
that they are now only contaminat-
ing by their talk and influence. As
for the other Sioux Indians, he
thinks it viii be advisable to put
them at some place where they can be
taught trades and kept away from their
tribes for several years at least.
General Armstrong does not anticipate
any further trouble on the Crow reserva-
tion, now that She disturbing element has
been removed.

In view of the warlilie outlook in Europe some figures relative to the strength, of the cOntinenal pow CTS will be of interest.
 The total number of troops now mobilizable reaches the appalling figure of over l4,OO0, 900. The available total of Germany is be : tween 5,O00,0OO and COCO, ,00O, in- cludmg all reserves. France close. ly follows Germany. Italy has a total of ?, 4OO, 900. Austro- -Hmgar. has l,O77 900. Russia can prob. ably bring out G.000,OOD, men.
 Germany is pushing forward the manufacture of the repeating rite, while Russia has invented a pow. der said to have ten tunes the force of ordinary gun powGer.
